OT - Haircuts


I am doing some market research for a startup company in the hair salon industry.  The focus is men and their haircut preferences, so I thought this is as good a place as any to get started.  I will be doing a more professional survey (I don't think it will go over well if my only source is a Texas Rangers blog), but I may be able to work in my LSB findings.  Here are the basic questions:

  1. How often do you get a haircut per month?
  2. Where do you go to get a haircut?
  3. How far is the salon/barber shop from your house?
  4. How much do you pay?
  5. Do you get any additional services (shampoo, massage, hot towel, etc)?
  6. How much do you tip?
  7. Do you prefer a male or female stylist/barber?
  8. Do you try to go to the same stylist/barber for each visit?
  9. Do you make an appointment or walk-in?
  10. What's the longest you would wait for service?

Age and race are factors that I need to collect, but I'm not going to ask you guys to provide that info unless you are comfortable with it - it would be helpful.

my answer

i just started cutting my own hair and getting my wife to clean up the back.

I hate driving a few miles to pay someone $15-20 that I could just as easily do at home myself (#5 all over).

Huh - me too (with the exception of having a wife)

I started cutting my own hair in college since I didn’t have any money. Since then I just like the convenience as I don’t feel like leaving work to do it, but when I’m really sick of my hair I just like to get it done. And: 36 white.

Actually, why I started cutting my hair is my college roommate and I went to a beauty school for haircuts and they did a really shitty job. There was pair of clippers at my house so we trimmed up the other’s hair. Roommate was pretty good at it so he started cutting friends’ hair for money, beer, food. I bought him a six pack for a haircut and after a couple weeks started bitching how he hadn’t cut my hair yet and demanded my beer back. We got in a fist fight in the kitchen, he took off and I tried cutting my own hair for the first time (while drunk) and it turned out horrible. It’s taken a while but I’m decent at it now (after 15 years of trying).

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.

I thought it was pretty good. Started off a little slow, terrific second act, still making my mind up on the ending. Gorgeous winter cinematography.

The 2 leads were great, epecially the girl. She has a future.

I was referring to the mani/pedi

Seriously though, I haven’t gotten too much shit for it. Probably cause I look so damn sexy with it. That was my haircut place in Dallas, here in NYC I go to a different place but it’s about $60 too. You can’t find anything here in manhattan under $20 or if you can I would advice you not to go cause you’re probably going to walk out with a really bad haircut.

well I've done it a couple times..

I just don’t have the time to do it on a regular basis, a seperate trip and all.
This is how it goes down:
1) They roll up your pants and put your feet in a mini jacuzzi with warm water.
Soaking in warm water for ten minutes or so makes the nail much easier to cut and shape.
2) Then they trim your nails and remove the cuticles, maybe sand the bottom of your feet to remove callouses.
3) After that they buff your nails, not to make them shiny just to take away the dullness.
4) If you want a foot massage at that point you can have one for a little more. To me thats the best part.
5) If you’re someone who wears sandals a lot, it’s a good thing to do because gnarly toenails are kinda disgusting.

I wear sandals a ton

So I stole one of those wooden file things from some little hot who used to camp out at my place too often. It works, but not as good as the sander I used to use.

4) 14 bucks, depending on how much my ass is whipped by the stylist.
5) No
6) $2-3 depending on how much the stylist yapped.
7) I prefer whoever cuts it quickest so I can get out of there.
8) nope
9) Walk in
10) 10 mins. If its gonna take longer than that, the hair can grow another week.

I get it cut

with a 3 blade, and I may go 2, or I may go 3 months between haircuts. At its longest I doubt it gets longer than 3 inches. Actually it rarely gets over 2 inches. Considering in the ‘70s it used to go halfway down my back, the extra length doesn’t bother me much.

I’m just not a fan of wasting time or money on something as inconsequential as haircuts.

Wow

You cut your hair w/ a 3, and it grows less than an inch a month?

That would be really handy.

Has it always been that way? That’s pretty unusual, I’d think.

Probably right at an inch per month, I'd guess.

So that probably means I usually cut it at about 2 months give or take.

Once it starts taking any significant amount of time to airdry in the morning, it starts bugging me enough to cut it again.

What we've all been waiting for ...

When does Uncle Dan bust out the pics from .. the 70’s ?

Your hair is less than 3 inches long, but you air dry it .. hypothetical — i bet you could change your oil in 15 mins, but you have the shop do it in 30 instead because, well, 15 minutes of your time is not worth the unskilled labor. Granted that it only takes 15-20 minutes on most cars, the difference is negligible, correct?

Did the Sports Clips/Pro Cuts thing for a long time but, since I got a stylist to cut my hair when it was longer, I have stayed with her since then. Made the mistake once of going to a cheap place a couple months ago and really noticed the difference. Won’t do that again.

I just got spoiled when I modeled they insisted that we went to the best cus if we showed up at a shoot with a hatchet job it could wind up wasting thousands of dollars.

yes a "stylist" sometimes does all of that..

But usually they don’t want your hair cut the same day as a shoot, freshly cut hair doesn’t photograph as well, at least that’s what I was told. So ideally get your hair cut a few days before and yes longer hair because of the versatility but it really depends on what it’s for. If it was for mens fitness or something like that it doesn’t matter as much, if it were for a clothier it would matter more.

Big Guns is an utterly fabulous jet-setting playboy

I would expect nothing less. He rocks.

I don’t know why you always gets this whiney little persecutution complex whenever we interact. And I think it’s funny that you always follow it with an “I won the argument-I win-I’m a winner-Yay Me” cyber-chest thump. But that’s your thing and at least you’re consistent.

Carry on, Greenie. Nobody cares that you pay 60 bucks. It’s just unusual for a college boy.

24 - White

1. How often do you get a haircut per month? once every 2 months or so.
2. Where do you go to get a haircut? …well I used to always go to Pro-Cuts. Since I moved to Galveston I go to the place that I call “$11 male haircuts on Tuesday”. No clue on what it’s actually called.
3. How far is the salon/barber shop from your house? 15 minute drive. I always get lunch somewhere on that side of town the same day or synchronize it with going to the grocery store to make it a worthwhile trip.
4. How much do you pay? $11 – the cheapest place I could find in town
5. Do you get any additional services (shampoo, massage, hot towel, etc)? No
6. How much do you tip? $2
7. Do you prefer a male or female stylist/barber? Female
8. Do you try to go to the same stylist/barber for each visit? Don’t care. I’m just trying to get finished as quick as I can.
9. Do you make an appointment or walk-in? Walk-in
10. What’s the longest you would wait for service? …pretty much if there’s more than 2 people in front of me I’ll leave, eat lunch, and come back. If it’s still relatively busy I’ll come back next Tuesday. Most I’ll wait is 15 minutes.

Okay.

   1. How often do you get a haircut per month? Not every month. Maybe not every other month. Depends on how it was cut the last time.
   2. Where do you go to get a haircut? Some 90 year old guy in Irving.
   3. How far is the salon/barber shop from your house? About 10 miles I guess, but I have a lot of clients in Irving so it’s not like I go out of my way.
   4. How much do you pay? Four dollars.
   5. Do you get any additional services (shampoo, massage, hot towel, etc)? He’s afraid of the AIDS and doesn’t shave anymore. Plus he’s too old to have that thing near my neck. So no extra services, no.
   6. How much do you tip? $11
   7. Do you prefer a male or female stylist/barber? Well he’s the only guy in there. On the rare occasion I go somewhere else I don’t care if they’re male or female.
   8. Do you try to go to the same stylist/barber for each visit? I try to go to that guy, yeah. He wears a fucking bolo tie.
   9. Do you make an appointment or walk-in? Walk in.
  10. What’s the longest you would wait for service? Five or ten minutes.

3. 2 miles

I do not like idle chit chat with barbers, dentists, etc. Shut up and be done with it. I love my dentist, who has satellite tv so I can watch the history channel instead of trying to mumble answers to inane questions around dental instruments. Sport clips always has ESPN on, which kind of annoys me. And then they try to talk about sports, but most of them don’t actually know anything about anything.

It depends on what you mean by the top?

If you’re thinning towards the hairline theres not much they can do for that besides grafting/transplants. If it’s in the crown or middle propecia one mg a day does wonders,
or rogaine which is applied topically, can be bought at the drug store and is relatively cheap.
I know about these things I used to have Nick Jonas hair, but sadly it’s thinned some, so I’ve been taking the propecia and it’s helped a lot.
